I got my shoes today. I picked up the Sidi Genius 5 Lorica® road shoes. I wanted the best shoes money could buy, and though they aren’t the top of the line Sidi’s, they are, just like my bike, more shoe than I really have the right to.

Once I recover from buying the shoes in a couple of weeks, I’ll look into the helmet and shorts. With those, I’ll be set to ride just in time for it to get really really really cold again.
